I couldn't resist. Saw Clapton in Seattle on Saturday (lucky me!) and just had to play a couple tracks from him. Sandwiched that set with David Hidalgo and Louie Perez of Los Lobos since that band opened for EC. If you're going to be at the Rose Garden tonight, hold on to your hat. You're in for a real treat.

Hey, didja see that Loch Lomond just released their latest CD last week? It's great! I'm gonna play the only instrumental on the disc--a pretty tune called Water Bells. And I'm still diggin' the new CD from the Eugene band, The Stagger & Sway, called Break Til You Bend. Just love that title. Finally, another new one, and VERY nice, is the CD called When the Bird Became a Book from Hayley Sales. You want this one in your collection...
